Odaily Planet Daily News Gold prices rose 0.8% in early trading, driven by tariff uncertainty and rapidly changing geopolitical situations that have made investors nervous. "Gold remains the most reliable hedge against Trump's tariffs," said Ipek Ozkardeskaya, senior analyst at Julius Baer Bank. President Trump announced on Wednesday that he would impose a 25% tariff on all imported cars, which intensified the global trade war. Economists worry that this may slow economic growth and trigger inflation, and the United States is expected to impose reciprocal tariffs on its trading partners next week. Traders are now waiting to see how the dollar reacts to Friday's personal consumption expenditure price index data. However, analysts at Peak Trading Research said: "Given that we just heard Powell's speech last week, this data will not have much impact-the Fed is not in a hurry, and the inflation caused by tariffs is'temporary'."
